We all know about hashtags, as they have become an integral part of every touch point with users. From TV commercials and print ads to social campaigns and sporting events, they are everywhere and continue to evolve.
For most users, the process of finding the right hashtag for the right initiative can sometimes be a challenge. While Hashtags.org is a good resource for identifying hashtag trends, it falls a little short when it comes to seeing how hashtags are used across all social channels.
Although it’s missing an “a” in the URL, I recently discovered a site that gets an A for answering this call and it’s definitely worth exploring. hshtags.com, a new site is a powerful search engine for hashtags, across the popular search engines. Using a very minimalist design, you can enter the tag and it will tell you how it’s used.
Some key highlights:
1) Search hashtags across all of the hashtag-driven social channels, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, YouTube and Pinterest.
2) Filter results by media type and social channel, so if you’re looking for all images with a particular hashtag on Twitter, it’s just a click away.
3) Jump directly to the post with the queried hashtag with the ability to share that post on your social channel of choice.
Above all, the true beauty of this platform is the simplicity and intuitive design – you enter the hashtag and it gives you everything you need to know about that tag.
Hailed by Digital Trends as the “Google” of social media, Hshtags.com is a great resource and I highly recommend checking it out.
